AQUATIC PROSPECTS AT NORTH POINT Indications For The Season: Improvement Over Middle Distances
(By "Ripple")
THE TWO GALAS held at North Point over the week-end, served as eye-openers to what one can expect for the coming season. None will dony that the times, such as they were, augured well, especially when one remembers that this Colony will be visited, somatimo in October, by a contin- gont of swimmors from the Philippines.
I was rather disappointed in not seeing the Chinese "Y" swim in the C.B.C. medley relay against the Lai Taun Union. The South China race was too short to serve as any basis of judgment, and I think that another race over the longer distance is required before one can establish the better team.
I was very much impressed by Tank! Cheung-wing (Lal Teun) -when-ba swam that 50 metres anchor against Chan Wing-kal, and hoopy this is only the beginning of the sea- son, I understood that that 50 metres covered In 27 'surnething' ds, which ought to make it 25 thin' for the 50 yards.
